3. Well, first of all, he's crazy.

But you can't fault him for wanting a recount, if it is really close.

That being said, I doubt someone with his screwed up psyche would ever be able to admit defeat. The recall could give Murphy an even bigger lead, but West will probably still contest it. Because he's crazy.

14. Randi Rhodes is saying he wants machines impounded and demands a recount

“Late last night, Congressman West maintained a district-wide lead of nearly 2,000 votes until the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections `recounted’ thousands of early ballots," Edson said. "Following that `recount,’ Congressman West trailed by 2,400 votes.

“In addition, there were numerous other disturbing irregularities reported at polls across St. Lucie County, including the doors to polling places being locked when the polls closed in direct violation of Florida law, thereby preventing the public from witnessing the procedures used to tabulate results.

“The St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections office clearly ignored proper rules and procedures, and the scene at the supervisor's office last night could only be described as complete chaos. Given the hostility and demonstrated incompetence of the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, we believe it is critical that a full hand recount of the ballots take place in St. Lucie County.”
